Jeremiah 47
The Prophecy
concerning the Philistines |
1 |
The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, Is.
14.29-31 · Ezek. 25.15-17 · Joel 3.4-8 · 0.1--0.1 ; -8.8 · 2.4-7 · Zech. 9.5-7 before that Pharaoh smote Gaza.
|
2 |
Thus saith the LORD; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and
shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all
that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men
shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl.
|
3 |
At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs
of his strong horses, at the rushing of his chariots, and
at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look back
to their children for feebleness of hands;
|
4 |
because of the day that cometh to spoil
all the Philistines, and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon
every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will
spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the country of
Caphtor.
|
5 |
Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ash'kelon is
cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou
cut thyself?
|
6 |
O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be ere thou be quiet?
put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.
|
7 |
How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given it a charge against Ash'kelon, and
against the seashore? there hath he appointed
it.
